Dzeko admits he doesn’t regret Chelsea move after Roma win against Barça

11 apr 2018

Roma star Edin Dzeko was one of the best players on the pitch yesterday night as Roma had the better of Barcelona in an historical 3-0 win at the Stadio Olimpico. The Bosnian striker netted the opener in the first half and was fouled by Gerard Piqué to be awarded a penalty kick scored by Daniele De Rossi in the second half.

Dzeko came close to joining Chelsea in the January transfer window but the player eventually decided to snub a move to the Premier League to remain at the stadio Olimpico.

“It was not easy to achieve such result”, Dzeko said.

“I remained here and I am happy. I think the club is happy as well. I don’t know how much money I rejected but money is not important.”

“We played with a three-man defence for the first time and it went very well. I’ve never seen Barcelona struggling as much, now I am looking forward to playing the semi-finals with this Roma side.”
